The Rif ’rc.ad Prosped*.
The icsrlt of the t«»i’.wd mco.’ng in
Canto •, on ibe 15. h iosisuit, did not meet
expec a ’o is. «nd somewhat dampened the
hopes of ihe i iho.'d’a advoca.es. Bat
when it was remembered that people ob

hiat much good seed must have fallen upon

the»r feel'ngs a>e becoming wannly enlisted
in the enteimlae, and Hbei.'l contiibiu'oos
may icesonabiy be expected to flow in eie
long. As an instance of the sniiil roal.iug
i.x appealance, Hide Fannin county tne
other day aubsciilied and promises
$20,000 additional; and MniietH increased

which bas been bui’tat ’ess cost than wifi
have been the Ma-’eita and Noi.h Geoigia
load. Genc al Pbiifps, in b’siepo.t to the
diiecto.s. stated that the o.iginal proposi

between Ma ie ia and Cavtoo, the a umeti
d'S.cnte bcleg twenty miles. The amount
svuse ihed was $. * 1.000, only $20,000 of
wb’ch bave bean collected. About s6,Of 0
is requhed to settle the liabilities aLeady
ipcu ted in consaecpng the toad. A con
tact for -be iion and motive power has j
been made, which will be fu. Dished upon’
the fl.st mortgage bohda, when ibe toad- i
bed to Canton is completed and fice from |
debt. The i.on will coal $70,000. To get '
the road ready for the iion will require'
eighty thousand c oss-iiesand five bundled
feel of trestje-woik, which will cost about
SIS,CCO. The to.al cost of grading the ■
laid f.om L»tUe i<ver to Caoton, a distance ■
of tea miles, was $3,00, or sst,o a mile, I
and the work was done io five months, j
with le 3 than a hundred me *. By dout-
ling the force, forty-eight miles could be
g.aded in twelve months, in the same ratio,
at a cost of only $24,000. The President
recommended that the road be made ready
for the iron to Canton ; that the company
i.self work the convicts, and that the p‘ es
ent force continue the grading.
With such an exhibit of economy and
ski’lful management, who can dottbt the
ultimate Success of the road? And then
contemplate the grand resu’ts it will be the
insiiume.lt of achieving: the magnificent
countiy it wi'l open up, the activity it will
inspire, ore intallcciual growth it wi'l stim
ulate, the vast resources it will develop, the
prosperity it will engender; and sav, it you
c.-'o, that the welfare of yourselves and
your poster',y will not be promoted by the
construction of this road; say that, as .he
vegetable kingdom has beietofoie claimed
you for i;s own, you have no desire to cut
tb.e loots which have bound you to the
de?d pis. end kept you from rising to that
snbere which the Creator intended you to
occuny—the sphere of mental and material
progress.
OVER THE COUNTY.
The fiifit is about gone ’n this county.
Good smn’l fauns can be bought cheap
in this county.
There was a ’’ii’e frost in some portions
of the county last week.
Cooper ore is now found in abundance in
the ne’gbho!hood of Can.du.
Without doubt, Cherokee has made more
co' n this year than will be needed for home
consumption.
Bluest ofie is a good remedy for hog chol
eic. We have often tried it, and never
known it to tai’.
We will take pork, beef, wheat, corn,
chickens, and anything else rbc.t is good to

GEOUG’AN.
A mu'e belonging to Truman Knox

Our ropes always get the woisi of it in
such cases.
The cotton crop in the county is gener
ate estimated at about one-belt the usual
amount. Tne it ’os have considerably re
folded picking.
We know of but one wedding that is to

young folks mean? How aic parsons and
printeis to live?
The ciy for bread will not be heard fiom

Since the new discovery of gold at the
Fiftok'in nicies, the miners ate engaged,
botn night and day, in sinking shafts and
imining entries to the glitl 'ring prize.
A friend, who already has seveial small
chi'dren to provide for, says he doubts the
prop iciy of exhibiting the D'lbeck trip’cfs
over rhe county, as it is a bad example.
The cb'cken crop has been almost an en
tire fn ; 'u;e in some poi ions of tbe couniy.
Os the ten thousand remed es proposed for
chicken cho’er.i, wc think none of them
are worth a cent.
The cmmtiy north of the Etow ah will
have a icmaikably sweet time th’s winter.
A geni eman recently in that poiiion of the
county says he “never saw ns much sor
ghum bcio.e since he was bom.”
Rans Se'leis of Csitersville has been in
our coutny of late, looking for a home. We
hope he will succeed in findliig one to suit
him, for he is a good-beaiied fellow and a
good hand to catch hoise.ibievei.
The pe simmon, wild grape, chestnut
and chinquapin crops are all very good,
and the opossums end the boys'wi n soon
have a fine time. The opossums wi'l cat
ibe fruit, and the boys will eat the opos
sums.
Our old friend Popham informed us, the
o<bcr day, that he recently struck gold in
nbundaece on bis place near town. He

mills went into opeiation, five thousand
bushels of wheat have been giound for toll

Two little daughters of James Blanton,
of this county, came near being bitten by a
rattlesnake, the other day. They were at

the larger gul discovered the snake, and in
at temp Jug to take tbe smaller one out of

Barlow line, had gone to a neighbors, leav
ing her child alone at home. When she
returned a horrible sight met her gaze.
Swine had got under the bouse, pushed

A . lend has left with us the fl lest speci

A Word to Those who 0«e Us.
; ’Another dun!” Ob, no! We can get
along without money! Our printers can
wart for their wages; our paper oil's can
be paid some time; and we can run a pa
per just for tbe fun of the thing! You
are only one among seveial hundred, and
the amount you owe is not much; besides,
when we need it, we can hunt you up and
ask you for it—no, beg you to pay us, and
if you don’t do it, we will dead-head you;
for we always did like you. and think we
might fur fish you a paner for nothing, as
it is not much! What’s a dollar or two
here and there and yonder! Times are
hard, and printers ought to wait for their
dues until they are better. Now, just pay
yotit other lUile accounts, and when you
have more money than ydu need, you edn
us.
